Media enslavement (x3)
Media enslavement, corporate control of entertainment
Effective weapons through the arsenal of manipulation
Structured confusion, the feeble inadvertently choosing 
Hope in the illusion, the backbone for their throne
Fuck their propaganda, time for action, cock the hammer
March of the giants that break silence, waving freedom's banner
May God be with us in the final standoff
Victories ours, guns at the stars, celebrate like its a walk off
Unstoppable with the illest arseal possible
Addition to spirit, we've conquered all obstacles
Rap John Conner, the future is ours
With thoughts, travel beyond what city landscapes can offer
Relinquish the sequence of the past
And believe we can avert the perilous destiny of man
Fuck dough, its for the soul
This life is like the twilight zone in search for some identity like Jason Bourne
Replenished, exert the hidden force naturally in us
Home of the cop killers, hollow tip cap peelers
With hearts cold enough as the most frigid winters
At times life boils down to the most precious minutes
They kill a army with silent weapons for silent wars
Dissidents committed to psychiatric wards, no remorse
And anyone else who dares to get involved
Is this the final call demanding that weapons are drawn?
Its a new dawn where those despised arise accordingly
Anomally anonymous to NYPD authority
Allegories on big screens and on the tvs hourly
Bugging on terminator under purple haze odyssey
Pardon me if I offend those trapped in a bubble
Life's a hustle where half the struggle counts for muscle
Spit truth that stutters judges
Break bread amongst brothers like murals that resemble the last supper

The follow up single off the upcoming sophomore album, The Project For Global Madness, Shine Eternal further displays the cinematic, dark yet beautiful themes as I described before. Especially here in its free form poetic delivery. Salute to Verbal Lexapro for the co-production. And to comrade Wiz for engineering the session at the now defunct Wizard Factory.

Vacancy,Pardon Me (Live Recording)

hey, here's another song. my vocals, guitar and lyrics 
sounds better with earphones. 

here are the lyrics:

here the sun is hazy, and the buildings are sacred; the ash on an ember, the flashes and ribbons and light - this is where i sleep. good morning. her rib-cage closed without a second glance. you have dreaded my fingers dripping with sorrow since my birth. her thinly cracked bones now cough dust and calenders. i am being found, so my name is invalid. this is where i sit.

Atom Band is an indie alternative/ post-punk band based in Johannesburg.
Fully formed as of late 2014.

Refusing to be pigeonholed as a one type of sound band, their sound encompasses a wide variety of influences from Garage Rock, late 70's post-punk and melodic 80's indie. 

Their strange sometimes noisy and uniquely dark material also draws influence from literature, film, art, anarchy as well as social, political and economic injustic
